  1. How to authenticate to Windows 10 SMB when using Windows Hello?


    I am running Window 10 insider previews at the moment, though this was a problem before I migrated. I am using Windows Hello with my Dell laptop's fingerprint scanner to log on. I have SMB running and a couple of folders shared, but when I try to access them from my iPhone it asks for a password. What am I supposed to use for a password? I am running with a Microsoft account since I'm on the Insiders program, but my Microsoft password doesn't seem to do the trick.


    Any help would be appreciated!

    :)

    Windows 7 virtual wifi authentication mode

    Hello.

    Just a quick question to whoever is using windows 7 virtual wifi capability - when you type in "netsh wlan show hostednetwork", cmd window displays a list of settings for your hosted virtual wifi.

    I was wondering, is there a way to change authentication method from WPA2-Personal to simple WEP ?

    Cheers.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
